WE SPEAK TO MORE THAN JUST KNOWLEDGE WORKERS!

Some collaboration tools don’t seem to appreciate that organizations have diverse missions and include employees that don’t sit at desks or tweet for work. Manufacturing, retail, medical and many other organizations have employees that aren’t tethered to a computer or even a smartphone. The right communication tools must address both knowledge workers and task workers. So whether you’re a busy executive or busy nurse in a hospital you need to be connected to be effective. That includes delivering traditional communication services like call park, overhead paging, shared line appearances and more. When you move your organization to the cloud you need a communication solution for every employee

WHY Ribbon & Kandy?

Ribbon has been building cloud communication solutions before there was a cloud. How can that be? Simple, Ribbon solutions power over 700 communication service providers world-wide. We also acquired Nortel’s carrier business, giving us access to some of the brightest and most experienced communication resources in the world. It’s no surprise that the core of our Kandy Business Solutions cloud supports already supports over 21 million lines across the globe. Our teams know how to build and support scalable, ultra-reliable communication services. And they understand how important it is to migrate users without disrupting critical business processes. So the next time someone says that your organization can move dozens of disparate PBXs to a cloud service with five voice features because “nobody uses those features anymore” remind them that “nobody” still has work to do.

Delivering a consistent communications and collaboration experience across devices in a multi-site environment can be resource intensive. Every quarter there is an upgrade of at least one platform be it Mac, Windows, iOS or Android; just keeping up with mandatory upgrades is a full time task. Ribbon’s Omni technology dramatically reduces deployment costs by combining WebRTC and client container technology. The result is clients that look and feel like a traditional client but are actually just thin shells that query a central resource to deliver a consistent UI across devices.

Enterprise class services

Replacing a premises PBX with a cloud service requires attention to detail. Users can’t afford to lose the services they use to execute business processes. Ribbon’s Nortel heritage and our experience supporting some of the world’s largest enterprises means we have the people and expertise to migrate tens of thousands of users.

IBM & Ribbon give your employees access to a world-wide footprint that includes dial tone access in over 80 countries – so your team can deliver the same services to every site. And since it is a cloud service mobile employees and teleworkers have access to the same services as office staff
